Spreadsheets are a mainstay in almost every organization, and they are a great way to calculate and manipulate numeric data to make financial decisions. Spreadsheets are also a great way to manipulate a small list of data, such as an event roster or a list of your store locations. But as organizations grow, many analysts try to push spreadsheets past what they were designed to do. This includes trying to process large volumes of incomplete data, and data that needs to be combined with other data sources to be useful for decision making. Purpose-built, self-service data analytics platforms that feature the ability to prep, blend, and analyze all types and volumes of data are now widely used by data analysts. Join this interactive webinar as we discuss the pros and cons of prepping and blending data using spreadsheets and the workflow-based environment used by modern self-service data analytics platforms. Attend this interactive webinar to learn about the benefits of a workflow environment like transparency and repeatability, and how to utilize a drag-and-drop workflow environment from Alteryx to: •Connect to and cleanse data from data warehouses, cloud applications, spreadsheets, and other sources •Easily join data from multiple sources •Perform analytics – predictive, statistical, and spatial – using the same intuitive user interface •Build a repeatable process to automate time consuming data preparation and analytical tasks Register now learn how to become a self-sufficient data analyst.

Why Spreadsheets?
5
• Familiar and free
• Can instantly see the data
• Optimized for one data source
• Best for one-off data preparation
• Covers most of what analysts need
• Colleagues cannot pick up spreadsheet and
see how data was manipulated
• Not clear where data is input vs. calculated vs.
blended together
• Documenting steps is needed to repeat the
process when data changes
